May support Sun's procedure for complex arch repair; leaves open randomized comparisons to alternatives.
Sun's procedure provides a standardized surgical option for complex aortic arch repair with an acceptable in-hospital mortality rate of 6.27% in a large case series.
Ma et al. (2013) conducted a review in Extensive aortic dissections or aneurysms involving the ascending aorta, aortic arch and the descending aorta (n=1,092). Sun's procedure (total arch replacement using a tetrafurcate graft with stented elephant trunk implantation) was evaluated on In-hospital mortality. In a series of 1,092 patients, Sun's procedure for complex aortic arch repair achieved an in-hospital mortality rate of 6.27%.
